Where did the weapon came from?

Types of Ore1. Hematite– High grade– “Direct Shipping Ore”– Mining and processing

is relatively simple2. Magnetite– Lower iron content– A natural magnet

Mineral Processing by MagnetismWet/Dry Low Intensity Magnetic Drums (LIMS)

Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separators (WHIMS)

Alternative Metal Extraction: The DRI

• Iron ore is reduced in solid state at 800 - 1,050 °C either by reducing gas (H2 and CO) or coal.

Good for the Philippines! Rich natural gas

resources Feasible for medium to

small-scale iron ore processing

HematiteFe2O3

Fe = 69.9%

MagnetiteFe3O4

Fe = 72.4%

WustiteFeO

Direct Reduction of Iron

Natural Gas based or Coal Based

Natural Gas Driven Reduction: Vertical Shaft Reactor
